SPICK-and-span George Town’s feather in the cap as the one of the cleanest cities in the Asean region did not come easy, said Penang Island City Council (MBPP) mayor Yew Tung Seang.

He revealed that several local councils in Malaysia were vying for the award, which came with a strict set of criteria to comply with.
